Actually, this spot name is SEPAK TAKRAW. Traditional Sport from Asia. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philipines, Cambodia are the familiar contestant in this tournament..
South east Asia specificly
Include Myanmar
Yeah it's actually based on traditional kicking competition in South East Asian plays at festivities, even at some wedding party in many region in South East Asia like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia to the south in Indonesia
The name it's self, really sounds southeast asia
@@firstname5373 the work " speak" is a Malay word meaning " kicking"
Takraw is Thai word for Rattan ball. The old name is Sepak Raga. Raga is a Malay word for Rattan ball.
There is an interesting twist in this sport. It was reported in annal history of Malaysia.
Way back in 15 th century, a group of young men were playing this sport. One of them was the son of the Prime Minister.
A royal entourage was passing through. The Crown Prince was riding his horse in that profession.
The son of the Prime Minister kicked the ball and it went straight to the head gear of the Crown Prince
He was very upset and killed the son of the Prime Minister.
The folks were very upset and went straight to the palace to attack the Sultan.
Upon hearing the news, the Prime Minister quickly pacifier th and reminded them it was not the Malay culture to wage war against a Sultan.
He however said he would never recognise the Crown Prince as future Sultan.
It had far implication as in Malay culture, approval of the Prime Minister was needed to approve ascension to the throne.
The Sultan banished his son to the neighbouring state
In Thailand we call it "Takraw" only, Takraw is a Thai word means "muzzle, woven rattan ball, or woven things".
And Sepak is a Malay word means "kick". So Sepak Takraw is from Malay+Thai word means "kick woven rattan ball" that is used to call this sport in the present.
Now I know . Never knew "takraw" is a thai word... Hi from Malaysia

Awesome reaction! Yes we have a USA National Sepak Takraw Team. My brother and I both represented the US at the time. Glad your enjoying it!
Great
Great ...welcome to the sepak takraw club.... Congrats
Good 😊👍
Wow... US has a sepak takraw team?
Wow! I didn't know USA has Sepak Takraw Team. I really believe this sport is only for Asian Countries.
I'm an English guy living on a small island in Thailand, and you will often see friends playing this on bits of spare land. Thailand is one of the best in the world, and the top level players can deliberately hit the top of the net on a serve so that the ball drops dead on the other side... they can jump up to play a 'smash' but then change and use the sole of their shoe to make a drop shot... amazing! The 'ball' is made from rattan cane or a plastic, and is not 'soft'! Love watching this game!
Nice info - i'm proud to be Thai
@@chanwitkobprasertkul4781 and I'm proud to say that my body belongs to England, but my heart belongs to Thailand 😁❤👍🏼😎
I'd not say we are one of the best, I'd say we are the best since our neighbor country literally have to put in some new rule because we took away too much gold medals, and we still winning their new rules lol
And the ball fucking hurts 🤣 for me at least
Shawadikhap! Im from indo, Thailand, very strongest in seagames and the world. About takraw. Omg.
This sport is so underrated. It should be popularized worldwide. Hope I can see sepak takraw in Olympics 1 day. Looks like volleyball but this is much more insane.
It is already introduced in EU countries.. Germany have a team already..
this year sepak takraw world cup is see Germany Vs France . damn still cannot believe France has sepak takraw team @@theposeidon6266
We have this in every university olympics in the Philippines, it was originally from thailand or malaysia and got spread out in the southeast asian nations, and we have it on the SEA games, this is even more amazing when you're on the courtside watching
Its a sport originally from southeast asia, and every country in the region has their own version. For the Philippines, we have Sipa. The Olympic committee in Southeast Asia form all those kicking sport and made it into a sport which we now calls Sepak Takraw. SEPAK ( malay word meaning to kick) TAKRAW (thai word meaning woven ball).
@@cjmlads yep. I still remember the time when it was called sipa takraw. Suddenly it became sepak maybe around 93-95.
@miaya3898
Sepak means in malay is kicking.. what is sipa? Ahaha
sipa is also a village sport similar to Takraw. Sipa in tagalog means to kick@@alifmahmood649
there's only two things i can say about Sepak Takraw :
1) it's an amazing sport
2) don't get hit in the face with a takraw ball :')
Well yea you dont want to be hit by the ball. My temple bled right after i was hit by the stray ball
1- yes it is amazing..
2- no you don't want it to hit your face, I've been hit at my lips, and get 4 stiches after .. so, must be careful... Or else... 😅
Well, those balls are mostly made of Rattan, so yeah. It'll cut a scar on your face if you got hit by one.
Damn that gave me a painful memory i almost got hit by one i dodged but i was by a wall so i hit the wall yes....don't get hit in the face it is ahard as fuck but also don't hit a wall
Yeah, i hit my friend face with my takraw ball
The floor isn't springboard. Guys in my school can even play these in a concrete court. They are soooo charming when they do those jumps
Watching this sport in screen and live is different. Literally, jaw dropping once you watch real good players live.
I remember trying to play this during my early teen years. The ball hurts and I suck. So never again. My dad grew up and Laos and Thailand so I see him play with some of his buddies. Pretty cool seeing the game and can appreciate the athleticism and skill involved.
I broke too many shoes trying to get good at this Sport when I was in HS, I still play today with friends but unfortunately my knees had other ideas.
I lived in Vientiane Laos 2007-2015. It was played on an impromptu stadium behind our house in the suburbs. Bigger tournaments on a Friday afternoons where businesses would field teams. The beer would flow and so would the wagers. A fabulous way to spend a few hours watching.
This sport should be in Olympic. It got universal appeal, basic equipments to begin, probably worthy of TV highlights in every rally. Only need a good promoters.
Not enough country playing it yet...
Just wait till Indonesia to be olympic host.... And we gonna bring takraw to the olympic for the first time.... Just like Asian games last year
@@rizaldieroten kelamaan bang
@@rizaldieroten What do you mean olympic host?
@@dyan4674 olympic Tokyo... Olympic Jakarta?? 🥱🥱
Some answers :
The floor is hard.
There ARE those backflip kicks at the low level, they're a standard attack called a rollspike (Similar to a 540 degree turning kick in Tae Kwon Do).
It's not in the Olympics because not enough countries have a team or are willing to take part in it.
Your limbs can go over the net so long as you do not touch the net.
And yes we are in fact monke.
HAHAHAHA Knew it that aint human, even as someone who is familiar with sepak takrau as a traditional game, that aint human
monke
Finally somebody actually turn into monke
reject modernity embrace monke

In this sport, you can use any parts of your body, except your hands. It entails lots of training for a player to do those kind of flip kicks. There is no springboard in the flooring, game usually done in concrete pavement. In the Philippines, the flip kick is better known as cartwheel kick.
I'm from philippines, Sepak Takraw was the first ever sport I played. When I'm in elementary school... And I really enjoy it..
I'm Thai and this is a popular sport in Southeast Asia. It's like our shared culture that we share. As a local culture, we play together. which I don't even know where it came from.
I just know that we can all have fun together. It doesn't matter what language we speak. or from which country Just when it was evening everyone would come out to the field. and have fun with it Similar to what you guys do with basketball. And it wasn't just you who was surprised. because even those who saw it since childhood I'm still amazed every time I see them show off their skills.
yeah, we usually hang the takraw on the tree branches and practicr our rollspike and bicycle kick. missing those memories. now i cant even barely jump 🤣
yes much love to my southeast A brothers and sisters! From Malaysia signing off!

I've been seeing friends playing takraw since elementary school( 10 y/o) And they jumped like this vid. I don't know how could they do that 🤣🤣 Always wondering
I had the opportunity to play this game in my childhood. This sport is very insane! When the ball hits your body, head, or face, it hurts a lot as the ball was made from hard pastic.
It is solid ground no spring. I personally witnessed sepak takraw players here in the Philippines since grade school because my classmate in grade school is an Athlete in sepak takraw. I am so fond of this game because of him and he is also my crush back then. The way they really jump up high surpassing the net is so awesome and somewhat unrealistic if you have not seen it personally but to those of us seen it in person are totally awestruck. Their training is no joke. They have to be flexible like gymnastics players and they have to do a lot of jumping as well but not just jumping as you can see their movements has different stunts as well in midair to kick or block the ball. It was totally awesome. I love this game more than basketball or volleyball although not talented for this game.
Those people are professional. This sport can be played casually with friends without having to learn those moves. Basically just keep the ball off the floor with your feet
The court is not springboard. Their feet is kinda contain spring due to their hard training. 100 skipping 2 3 times a day, do it everyday and you can jump like them
Must be adjustable
Udah nama Faizul Wibu lagi🗿
Before training usually i skipping 1000 times
100? I could do that in less than 2 minutes lol. They skipping like, idk 10000 or more a day.
yeahhh true, don't forget there is a spread leg routine too. to make the leg becomes flexible.
We have this on our P.E class before here in the Philippines..and my classmates are awesome playing this..there are good games here in the philippines that are olympic worthy..like.patintero, sipa, syato, agawan base..etc..hahhaha!
This sport is so underrated and to be frank this needs a really good coordination and timing knowing when to jump just to hit the ball perfectly. I love this sport and you are right this is so cool it looks like kung-fu
Sepak takraw is like a shared cultural sport in the Southeast Asian nations. Even the name is a combination of Malay 'kick' and Thai 'woven rattan thing'. In pure Malay, it is called sepak raga, which just means the same thing. It's so old that I can recall several historical events in the Malay kingdoms involving sepak takraws as far back as the 15th century AD.
These guys are professional athletes, so of course their performance is top notch. If you want to play it as a pastime, there's really no need for backflips, heh.

I want Sepak Takraw to be one of the Olympic sports
I'm from Thailand. We play Sepak Takraw a lot when we were young. This sport is popular among South-East Asia Countries.
Sepak Takraw sport is the most dangerous game for me. It requires so much flexibility but it creates beautiful forms.
yeah you right😀
Not much danger if you don't do 360 degree kick.
its called dangerous when caucasion cant play
@@broomStivk LOL
I probably break my neck if i play this
Dude, sepak takraw athletes can do backflip and jump high there's no any other tools than help them jump high or whatever. This game is very popular in asia. This should be in the Olympics.
It's like volleyball, football and martial arts in one! ❤️ My brother was a sepak takraw varsity player when we were in high school.
Hello, I'm Thai. In Thailand, Sepak Takraw is taught in the classroom from a young age. Teach from the basics to jumping and rolling to attack. Now I hear that Europe is enjoying this sport. I would like to recommend you try playing with an open mind, it's really fun.
Sepak takraw asal malaysia bukan daripada thailand
The floor is not spring loaded. It is being played on concrete floor, or anti-skid coated or wood parqueted floor which is being marked with lines just like the badminton game has
Remember, the flipping strikers still need to land safely on the hard ground surface without injury. There's a feeder who sets up the high ball for the striker to hit with a rollspike or a "bicycle kick" in soccer.
im filipino and this is a shared cultural sport. It maybe considered as ASEAN national sport. I am a sepak takraw player and competed in some events.
I’m Laotian. Growing up in Binghamton NY, I used to tie a string to trees in the back yard an practice the roundhouse kick or spike. Then moved my way to jumping motion. You also use the sole of your foot to either dink or snap, more control but less power.
Used to do nothing but stretch an stretch. But I was not great at it. When peeps play, it was always for something, drinks, a little side bet.
And everyone gears up by wearing a Bandara to protect foreheads.
It’s basically volleyball without hands.
Was a varsity player of sepak takraw back in highschool and practicing everyday with weights on our legs for the first time is very hellish. I remember playing it with my broken synthetic fibre takraw ball and it hurts sometimes my head bleeds. I still got my old takraw ball who gave me a hard time but also gave me strength to play whenever there will be a school competition. Seeing this in my recommendation brings a lot of memories and nostalgia.
Nice reaction btw from PH
Malaysian league will be broadcasted in US TV sport next year
Srs ah
Whattt....?????
Takraw bkn bola
Good news , say hi from Bangkok
A good start to introduce and encourage more people participating in Sepak Takraw particularly in the US and would soon be added in Olympic games.
This sport is too underrated. It's so much fun to watch!
I'm from the Philippines. Sepak Takraw was our national sport back then but they changed it to Arnis (a Filipino martial art)
you can find this game professionally in SEA- South East Asia particularly Malaysia Thailand Philippines in the 1930's...and dude that im telling you it's hard and heavy, the original ball was made in rattan a kind of wood but now they made a synthetic hard plastic with screws in it, believe me i've seen one. You're right this should be in the Olympics

Us here in the Philippines when we were young we were so into Sepak Takraw that most people with the same age as mine or older know how to play. But the current generation don't know how to play they only know how to play mobile and pc games nowadays.
No when I was a kid, we play "sipa" not this. Sipa using 5 cents as the thing that we kick
@@justrandomthings709We use a large washer with a folded straw or candy wrapper inside the washer for “sipa”.. In Manila at least… But maybe in some other places in the Philippines, Sepak Takraw might be more popular..
I may not know how to play this, but I do know a person (or persons) who play this, and it's my two male cousins
Agreed. When I was a kid until my teenage years, both girls and boys in my place used to play this all the time. We still did that now sometimes when we have a time to spare outside of work, tho. But kids this days, as you said, only know how to play mobile games and those amazing traditional games slowly forgotten. It's sad, really.
Mobile Legend Bang Bang, BREAK THE CODEEEE
Yup, in the Philippines it's being taught in school. We had this on our PE class including Arnis/ Kali martial arts. 👍
I feel proud for this :)
I used to be a Sepak player around 11 years ago in high school, I never reached the level of these people however :D
Btw, I'm from the Philippines. This sport really is UNDERAPPRECIATED AND UNDERRATED.

I live in South Sulawesi, since in elementary school there is just takraw for the boys, volleyball for the girls, and badminton for both, when we were young 🤣
My favorite game back when I was in 6th grade. Never got the chance to do backflip spikes. It's totally awesome to look at...
It started during the Melaka Sultanate era in Malaysia 500 years ago give or take.... it's a sport for the princes and elites, till today the sport has flourished and neighbouring countries in South East Asia joins in, and then the far east like Korea and Japan and finally the US. Love your reaction...but this is normal in all high schools in Malaysia

Yes, it'a an ancient game from ancient Kingdom's Army of South East Asia.
It was played on inter Kingdom's Army meeting in South East Asia, of course they (ancient army) were mastering in matrial arts so that's why this game is so intense.
In their time, this game can kill the rival.
This is a difficult sport to play with. And I'm proud that I became a Sepak Takraw (Sipa) player back in my younger years.
I ‘m watching it first time when I was a kid. That man can fly!!!
Thailand 🇹🇭 is the dream team of Sepak Takraw. South Korea also not bad.
Every sepak takraw reaction brings the same conclusion, "this should be in the olympics"
Sepak takraw originated in Malay Peninsula in 15 century if i remember correctly. The sepak takraw game debut in 1965 fpr Asian games dominated by malaysia the originated country, and thailand.
Here in my country philippines its called Sipa the best players we have here is from palawan province region IV consiating memaropa.
Flexibility and agility is badly needed in order for you to play well in takraw.
My kids School High School has a Sepak Takraw Team and i am amazed as always like what your reaction with everytime i saw them practice and specially when the division and regional Competition happens as my son plays in sports department also.

It is human😂😂😂😂 just on another level and has that super multi talent and flexible body to do all those amazing stunts moves. That is "Sepak Takraw" also known as Sports.
I love this sports.❤❤❤❤

Most kids around these parts start playing when they're really young man. Start off at age 6-7, and the ones that excel, excel to a ridiculous degree as you've seen. Yeah it's inhuman and awesome. In answer to your questions -
1) The ball is traditionally made of woven rattan/wicker. It's hollow, but lightweight and flexible. In these modern times though light plastic can simulate the same thing.
2) There's no springboard... All those guys are jumping for real. Yeah it's mind-blowing.
3) It IS pretty much volleyball with only your legs.
You are right. It is like a KUNG FU BALL. It is easy to find friends playing TAKRAW together at our local playground in THAILAND, my country. You can see teens playing together every corner of the neighborhoods.
Sepak Takraw, this is the most beautiful game I seen in actual.
3 players , first is to serve then stop by the opponent that's the first touch, 2nd touch is to the setter, the the third touch is the spike, they called that spike as cartwheel. Almost the same in volleyball
That's incredible! Amazing in fact, wow never seen anything like this before! Kudos to the professionals and all who play this amazing sport. Just wow. 🤯
Never seen anything like this. Incredible. A good find.
Ancient game from 15th century Malacca Sultanate. Very famous in my home country Malaysia, Thailand is dominance, Philipine, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, Vietnam also play this game, South Korea catching up fast, I remember played when I was 10 back in late seventies, it really tough, my forehead bleed because that time the ball made from rattan wood, nowadays it hard plastic. I stopped playing after my forehead bleed blocking that ball spike & prefer badminton instead.😅
When they swing the ball.. the ball inside pants also swinging too🤣🤣🤣❗❗💥
I'm Thai. Sepak Takraw It is a sport that requires high skill. such as a somersault for takraw sports It is a popular sport as well in Thailand.
Yo! I'm from Thailand. I love your reaction. Sepak Takraw is a popular sport in South East Asia before the arrival.of soccer . It is one of the 3 most popular sports. (Soccer/Sepaktakraw/Volleyball) You can find this sport in the countryside. And everyone played very well. Even fat people can be fat. Even fat people can play if they are trained and play it often.
In this sport, you can taunt your opponent if you can score. which we consider not to be insulting or vulgar But it's just to make the audience more colorful and it's a lot of fun to compete.
Oh, in case you're interested, want to know. It also competes in the women's team category.
P.S. All rules are almost similar to volleyball, all rules are almost similar to volleyball. The only difference is that they play with their feet.
@@i2d2nano22 I saw a fat guy do a roll spike. I'm like, dang.
@@MASViper You may not be able to make row sprites, but you can do bicycle kicks.
The sepak takraw players mostly have wrists injuries. Becos when they land they use their wrists to support them.
This is an old sport originates from malacca, malaysia, few hundred years ago in the 16th century played in the palace court.
The ball was made of rattan, over time they changed the material to plastic.
This is "Sepak Takraw", a sport that is widespread in Southeast Asia.
This sport requires a very high level of skill and flexibility.
In the early stages of training It might be a little difficult. but after you become more skilled Gradually, your body becomes more flexible. It will motivate you to use more and more difficult moves. physical potential Predatory agility will increase to the maximum.
And when you bring everything to the competition Your adrenaline will soar that you can jump that high throughout the race.
One of the most popular sport from asia..
I use to play this when i was on grade school.
From Philippines 🇵🇭
Hahaha. Love the initial reaction. Ya sepaktakraw is like the more bad-ass sibling of volleyball 🤣🤣
Like your reaction, so genuine. Like your curiosity to find more info
I think this game should be in the olympic!!!!. It really good to watch that people can do something so incredible.
in sepak takraw there are three positions namely, striker, tekong and feeder, there are also many types of sepak takraw and this is called roll spike, the current ranking is Thailand(1)Malaysia(2)Indonesia(3) south korean(4) and USA (15)
did you know that this is the only game where you can actually troll/mock your opponent... its part of the game :)
I have played many sports at quite high competitive levels incl rugby, football, tennis, snooker, table tennis and a few more, and I can confidently say SEPAK TAKRAW IS THE BEST GAME EVER! The fun level is infectious especially if you are able to return the opponent's spike😊💪👍
You cant fully understand how hard this sport until atleast you touch and feel the takraw ball.
Sepak Takraw was originated in Malaysia around 500 years ago. ... Around 16th century, the game was spread across Indonesia, where people called it Sepak Raga. By 1940, the net version of the game was spread across Southeast Asia and formal rules and regulations were formed for the game.
ah yes.. a Malaysian and their habits of stealing Indonesian things. Batik, Rendang, what now that you want to claim? the Sepak Takraw? even in Indonesia its called Sepak Takraw not Sepak Raga.

You can come to Malaysia and we will teach you how to play sepaktakraw.Its is an interesting game that we in Malaysia in particular play.
This sport is actually part of our physical education subject way back when I was in highschool here the Philippines. This is more known here in asia. This is a very difficult sport though very fun.
We play a version of this game in Romania as well however we tend to use a normal football(soccer) ball and we can play with or without net. Same rules, no hands , only feet , tennis court. The only major difference i can think of is that we only touch the ball once per player so no dribbles allowed.
It is taught in our school in the PH but it is physically demanding that is why not all are interested but it is always a great sport to watch especially during inter school competition where you can see extra ordinary flexible students compete. The sport is very identical to volleyball but using primarily the feet and also including the chest and forehead. I tried playing it once, almost bang my head to the ground and decided it's not for me.. 😁😁
I was interested in this game in my elem days but when I saw the team doing some gymnastics as their workout I lost my interest hahahaha
"What! There is a USA team?!"
"They look like kungfu playing volleyball"
LOL
Wkwkwk 😂
Ryan, I love the way you make comments. You are funny 😂
I think You need to fly to Thailand and try it yourself. They play this in every sub districts of the country. 😊
It's called Sipa (literally "kick") in the Philippines! It's basically like volleyball with feet with a rattan ball (in Indonesia). It's even more creative in the Philippines!
played this in my secondary school as a sport in singapore. We used badminton courts to play... so its on concrete hard ground. Ball is made of ratten, & if u get hit in a head, it will leave a large bruise!
Its been years and I dont think I've seen Sepak being played in my area anymore though I do believe it might be played elsewhere. I remember my watching my father play at Sepak games as a kid against friends and office mates. Would love to see an actual game one day because watching jump and try to kick the ball was quite thrilling.
Yeah.... Also i don't know why in my region many kids don't play this anymore.... I still remember when i was at 3rd till 5th year of my elementary school we always playing this game whenever the net was placed in the school field and every break time we would ask our pe teacher to lend the ball eventhough our class didn't have pe lesson in the schedule until at the end of 5th year our class was scolded by every teacher because after break we are sweating so much and sometime me or my friends uniform was looks so dirty....
It’s not Sepak 😂
You can’t call it by one of the name. Sepak in Malay means kick. Takraw in Thai means rattan ball. It is called sepak takraw.
The game was born in Malaysia, that is before the arrival of the west to Malay land. But Malaysia and Thailand agreed on this game. The name Sepak Takraw is taken from two languages, namely Malay and Thai. Sepak (Malay) is kick and Takraw (Thai) is rattan ball.
In the Sepak Takraw World Cup final, most of the finalists are Malaysia and Thailand. Only these 2 countries dominate this game
I played this game when I was in my teenager years. I was actually pretty good too. There is no spring loaded. These guys can jump and spin at the same time. I’m only 5’4” and I can jump my foot up to about 7 or 8 feet in the air while try to kick the ball. This is game already adopted in Olympic. You don’t see it because it’s a big market in the European and American countries. It’s a Asian sport and very popular in Asians.
This game revolve not only a tactic of how to defeating an opponent but the most important is to fight with your own mental. The players play their own role and a 'Killer' is the one who you saw doing summersault to smack the ball down to touch the floor of the opponent court. The Sepak (kick) Takraw (name of the rattan ball).., a hand full size of ball is relatively hard. Player must carefully avoid for the ball to being hit their face as it may cause the player lose their teeth easily. This torturing game play with pride and each opponent team will mocking the opponent when they score a point. When the opponent raise temper, they will lost their focus and will keeps loosing until defeated. Game over once the score reach 15 points.
15 points???🤔
i think the points system now is like badminton.
yes provoke until melt down.
@@asasas5340 yeahh, if the score points more than that people will start breaking lol
😂😂
One of the unique thing about this sport is, they always provoke each opponent everytime they score a point and no serious fighting.
Haha, I really miss this game. I used to play these with my friends back then (and yes, bot girls and boys play these together in my place). Nowadays we can rarely spend time together to play this because of works and most of us already have a family of our own.
Unfortunately, I never saw kids these days played any kind of traditional games like this, sadly.
hehe.. if you dont have the ball , use the shuttlecock. 4 or more people to balance the shuttlecock.
@@rebelsdeveloper367 Ah, never tried it with shuttlecock. Usually we just made the ball ourselves with rattan if we have it, or with bamboo if we don't have any.
That is our physical education class when we were in High School. But we only do the basic. Just kicking the ball and try to get it over the other side
"Nanyang"is the best shoes for sepak-takraw. Confirm from Thailand. 😎😎😷
I also use nanyang shoes . The best SEPAK TAKRAW shoes from thailand. Kukhrap kukhrap😁
Takraw is popular in SEA. 3 players for each team. Striker and Setter (who set the ball for Striker in last hit) are in the front of their own field. Server in the back. Each team has only 3 hits to send the ball to another side (same as volleyball). No spring on the floor buddy :). They practice again and again. Jump > float in the air > hit the ball > one of the leg will be pivot point for full flip kick. Awesome reaction. From Thailand :)
Love you reaction 😂❤
Traditional game originally from Malay Archioelago..Known as "sepak raga"..Played in a circle, with 5-7 peoples as to fill leisure time..Those days, we called the ball as "rattan ball" coz its made out of rattan..Nowadays, its became "synthetic ball"..
If my mind serves me right..USA did have their "sepak takraw team" during 80s and 90s and as a beginner they played well.."Sepak takraw" in Malaysia is like a baseball in USA..Very popular in South East Asia region..
Suggest you to search history of "sepak takraw" and very sure you'll love it..👍👍👍
Find a filipino/malaysian/korean friend they will introduce it to you the basics of sepak takraw. Early when your young in elementary you can practice and join clubs that plays sepak and if you are good enough you can be a varsity and represent your schools. There jumps are higher cuz they practice sepak in early age. One of the basic drills is to jump. Block headbutt, serve.
Korean??
@@jrexx2841 They started playing it now. Wouldn't be hard since plenty of Koreans are taught taekwon do.
This sport has been played for over 100 years but not included in Olimpic games... why..?
The original ball was made from wood(rattan), it is quite heavy but no other can play with Thailand with a wood ball. Then, we change the ball to plastic to make the game look near (closer performance).
wood ball? rattan ball right..
Rattan not wood. Wood is hard would break your leg or head.
Maybe thais play with a wooden ball that doesnt bounce. Or thais have steel legs. 😁
Actually according to Malaysian royal history, it was played since 15th century. So it has been around 600 years ago, not 100 years as you said.
